Content not Price is the keyFeb 06, 2008
By History teacher The first two reviews which are very low in rankings are based on price, not the actual content of the show which is exceptional. If you want a great show that is very well done then this is a show for you and while you can wait and get it cheaper, price is never a judge of how good a show is, just on when you will see it.

The price is not likely to go down for a couple years when they release the sets together with additional features. So if you are extremely not interested in seeing them for awhile, by all means wait. I ordered these volumes already since I don't think the three volume set will be that much better in price. - C.

Young Indiana Jones SeriesJun 04, 2008
By George H. Haag
"Amangi Ktemaque"
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Three - The Years of Change Whereas the first two volumes had most episodes relating the war years I found these episodes exciting & just plain fun. The overall quality is exceptional throughout the series. Was a bit reluctant to purchase as this volume was a bit more expensive but found it to be well worth the price. Hours of great entertainment, well researched & high quality historical documentaries I find it a great addition to an already great series.

final Young Indy setFeb 18, 2008
By Amy E. Barker This is the final box set of the Young Indiana Jones DVD series. It's due to be released in the Spring of 2008. It covers the episodes from the TV series that dealt with the end of WWI. For me, some of the episodes of this set were rather hit and miss. My rating: 3 1/2 stars.

Learning Early 2oth Century History PainlesslyMar 21, 2009
By Celia Hayes
"Sgt. Mom"
Well, volume three is cut down to a more manageable 10 discs, of death-defying adventure in exotic locations, propitious meetings with interesting or soon-to-be famous people, and enough short informational features about historic people and events to satisfy anyone's History Channel jones. After watching all three sets and dimly recalling the series as it aired, though, I still have doubts about the wisdom of cobbling together two episodes to make one movie-length sequence. This results in some very odd pairings and a pronounced hiccup at about mid-point, where suddenly the story lurches off in another direction entirely. And omitting the poignant `bookend' character of `Old Indy' entirely?
At least this package included a guest appearance by Harrison Ford himself, as `somewhat middle-aged Indy', as well as some other nifty guest appearances; Anne Heche comes to mind almost at once (in the Scandal of 1920 episode). This series wraps up the last dying twitches of World War One (including an encounter with a still quite twitching Dracula - kind of an icky episode, that one. I wouldn't allow young children to watch it) and young Indy's attendance at the Paris Peace conference. Then, he returns home to pick up something of his old life again, scrounging summer jobs in Chicago, playing the blues, on Broadway and in Hollywood in the silent-movie era. As far as flamboyant and outsized characters went, Hollywood of that time would have been well worth a season of its own. As it is, Indy only scratches the surface, hanging out with young John Ford, Irving Thalberg and Erich von Stroheim.
The extras are lavish, and perhaps more than a strict fan of the series would really want to pay for - but as far as introducing children painlessly to events of the early 20th century, there is none better: where else could you find informational shorts on Edith Wharton, the French Foreign Legion, Dracula, Gertrude Bell, Ben Hecht, Tin Pan Alley, Elliott Ness and the Ottoman Empire?
